Everyone rushed to the side of the cliff, lay down and peered down, and found that the cliff was forty or fifty meters high, and below it was a huge canyon that was more than ten miles long, with no end in sight.
Meanwhile, the valley is over a thousand meters wide, and a small river flows through the lower right side. However, the river is only four or five meters wide and should be a stream formed by the water flowing down from some part of the cliff above.
On the left side of the valley, beside the stream and below the cliff, hundreds of simple treehouses are scattered about, and between the treehouses are some small plots of land planted with some unknown species.
Meanwhile, everyone also noticed that there were some werewolves active around the treehouse and along the riverbank. Most of them were older werewolves and some wolf cubs, with only a few adult werewolves patrolling the area with weapons.
"Squirrel, is this the werewolf tribe? It must be a small tribe, right?" Chen Feng asked in a low voice, finally connecting the knowledge from the book with reality.
These werewolf tribes look very poor, but they have a large number of werewolf pups. It seems that the werewolf birth rate is still very high. No wonder so many werewolf cannon fodder die every year, but the werewolf population is still so large.
"The size of the tribe can be judged from the treehouses of the werewolves. This tribe has only more than two hundred treehouses, which indicates that their population will not exceed one thousand. Excluding the old, weak and wolf cubs, there will be no more than four hundred adult werewolves with real fighting power."
In yesterday's battle, it is estimated that this tribe sent out almost its entire force, except for a few adult werewolves who stayed behind. They lost more than 150 adult werewolves, and now there are less than 300 adult werewolves left.
"If all the troops from our base number one were to be mobilized, we could easily wipe out the werewolves of this tribe. However, we need to keep at least one-third of our troops in the camp just in case, so I estimate the company commander will contact other nearby bases to send troops together," Liu Song said in a low voice.
This was both to share experience with Chen Feng and to introduce him to some common knowledge about forward outposts. Since the werewolves defended at forward outposts came from various tribes, it was very likely that other tribes would attack outpost number one next, after all, they were the outposts closest to the werewolf territory.
"Squirrel, shall we do something?" Chen Feng asked, somewhat eager to try.
"We're currently mainly monitoring this werewolf tribe, awaiting the company commander's orders. I've already recorded the situation and coordinates of the werewolf tribe and reported it to the company commander. Now we're just waiting to earn some credit," Liu Song said, shaking his head.
"Won't the werewolf tribe discover that their sentries are dead?" Chen Feng asked again.
"So we need to disperse to the surrounding areas, both to monitor the roads leading out of the werewolf tribe and to kill the werewolf scouts at critical moments, buying time for the main force to arrive," Liu Song nodded and said.
Subsequently, Liu Song gave the order that Xiaoyuer and Feimaotui each lead five soldiers to continue searching along the cliff in the left and right directions to see if there were any roads leading to the werewolf tribe in the valley.
He, along with six soldiers including Chen Feng, stayed nearby to observe the situation inside the werewolf tribe, as there were still about three hundred adult werewolves in the tribe, and it was necessary to find out their situation.
"Everyone must be careful. The chieftain and priest of the werewolf tribe are both sixth-rank experts. Do not disturb them, or we will be in great danger," Liu Song warned everyone.
Chen Feng was also very nervous. After all, the chieftain and priest of the werewolf tribe were both sixth-grade martial artists, while he could barely exert the strength of the early seventh grade. He was no match for a sixth-grade martial artist at all, and if he encountered one, he would only face certain death.
To put it simply, if the werewolf tribe discovers anything amiss, just one sixth-rank martial artist is enough to wipe out their entire ordinary team, with not a single one escaping. That is the power of a sixth-rank martial artist.
Fortunately, the cliff was fifty or sixty meters high from the bottom of the valley below, while the werewolf tribe's treehouse was two or three thousand meters away from the cliff. According to Liu Song's observation, the treehouse where the werewolf tribe's chief and priest lived was located in the very center of the tribe.
Chen Feng could also see that in the center of the werewolf tribe, there were two treehouses that were taller and more spacious than the other treehouses around them, and there were adult werewolf guards with weapons on the side. This should be the home of the werewolf chieftain and priest.
The treehouse of the werewolf chieftain and priest is six or seven kilometers away from the cliff. Unless they intentionally climb the cliff to check the situation, they will not be able to find the human warriors on the cliff for the time being.
Afterwards, everyone calmed down and closely monitored the situation of the werewolf tribe, waiting for further instructions. Just over ten minutes later, Liu Song received a message from Company Commander Si Yuniang.
"The troops from the other two strongholds have arrived and are expected to arrive in about an hour. Your unit must closely monitor the situation of the werewolf tribe and pay attention to your own safety." Liu Song was very excited after seeing the message.
"Little Fish and Swift Legs, each search for about ten miles and then lie in ambush and wait for orders. Unless there are special circumstances, return to the cliff to regroup in fifty minutes." Liu Song gave the order to the two search teams.
Then, he said to Chen Feng and the other martial artists, "Leave two people here to monitor, and the rest of you should retreat to the nearest werewolf sentry post to rest. Rotate every ten minutes to conserve your energy for the battle later."
Although discovering the werewolf tribe was already a great achievement, if they could kill some more werewolves in the upcoming battles, their merit would be even greater. Therefore, Liu Song arranged for everyone to take turns resting.
"Squirrel, squirrel, werewolves are coming up the mountain." However, only half an hour had passed, and there was still half the expected time for the arrival of the main human force when Autumn Wind and Rain, who were monitoring the situation, suddenly reported this.
"Whoosh—"
Liu Song was startled upon hearing this and quickly darted out of his hiding place, running towards the edge of the cliff. After thinking for a moment, Chen Feng followed behind him and flew away. In a few leaps, the two of them reached the edge of the cliff at the same time.
The two lay down on the ground and peered down. Sure enough, they saw five or six werewolves carrying some things and starting to climb the mountain. However, they were not adult werewolves, but rather a mix of old werewolves and wolf cubs.
"They're probably bringing food to the sentries. Everyone, carefully retreat and ambush them from about 50 meters away. Once these werewolves come over, kill them all. Be careful not to let them make a sound." Liu Song immediately identified the werewolves.
Afterwards, everyone quickly cleaned up some traces on the ground and then retreated to the jungle fifty meters away from the cliff. Chen Feng hid behind a big tree, projecting his mental energy outwards and keeping a close eye on the other side of the cliff.
"howl--"
Soon, the two old werewolves led the three wolf cubs up the small cliff. One of the wolf cubs let out a howl, but was scolded by one of the old werewolves. However, even the wolf cub was 1.7 meters tall, which was about the same height as an adult human.
